I did this recently on my Nissan Qashqai +2, 4WD. The front bolts on both sides were so rusty that they could not be loosened. But I solved this by unscrewing the 4 bolts in the bracket that holds the arm to the chassis. Then after I had to cut the curved part of the arm, near the bracket, by means of an angle grinder. After that I managed to cut the rusted bolt on either side. The size of the metal cutting disc had to be at least of Ø 23 cm in order to do this.

Just about to do this on an AWD. Great vid but where are your axle stands? I have had a car start to move on jacks on a concrete floor, nevermind gravel. Let me tell you it was very frightening. I was lucky enough to be able to brace it until help arrived. Just throw one underneath to catch it if it falls.

Спасибо очень полезное видео по задним рычагам. Стабилизаторы бы конечно тоже поменять сразу, наверняка там сайленты уже порваны.

As a 2 X-trail owner, 2005 T30(sold) and 2012 T31, they share the same rear brakes and same with the QQ. The desing is rubbish. Especiali the slide pin (goes thru the caliper) and rubber seal desing. Smutz build up between the caliper and the seal lip presses the smutz thu the seal. Nissan/Renault still use the same design from 2001 to present. I need to service/clean them every autum, if not, then they seize. Tell the QQ owner too, that just cleaning/regreasin the pins, cleaning the rust under the bads hardware is the key.

Anything you recommend? Can I get another ecu and have the data transferred? Many thanks 🙏
